Session I: Watson and the Cognitive Era
For the past several years, the converging forces of data, cloud, mobile and social technologies
and the Internet of Things have disrupted industries and led to unprecedented transformation
across every type of business. Many enterprises have made the shift to become ‘digital.’
However, we believe that digital is not the destination, but the foundation for a new era
of business, which we call cognitive. When digital disruption meets digital intelligence,
new possibilities are created by systems that understand, reason and learn. In our opening
session, we will explore this new era of cognitive business and the role Watson is playing
in making it a reality.

Session II: The Watson Innovation Ecosystem
The Watson Ecosystem is made up of thinkers, developers and innovators who are at the
forefront of building and using the cognitive technologies that are extending human expertise.
In this session, Watson partners will share applications and results of cognitive technologies
and offer a preview of what’s to come.

Session III: Envisioning a Cognitive Future
A world a
wash in data and being rewritten in code calls for a new form of computing.
In response, a new breed of systems is emerging that can understand unstructured data
in all its forms through sensing and interaction. These cognitive systems are able to reason,
generating hypotheses and recommendations. Importantly, they can learn from their own
experiences and outcomes. This session will probe what happens when new cognitive
capabilities converge with the ongoing digitization of products, services and companies.

Session IV: Watson in India
IBM Bluemix is an open-standards, cloud platform for building, running, and managing
applications. With Bluemix, developers can focus on building excellent user experiences
with flexible compute options, choice of DevOps tooling, and a powerful set of IBM and
third-party APIs and services. This session will highlight an IBM partner that is leveraging
IBM Bluemix in India and will discuss the benefits of Bluemix as a developer platform,
it’s potential as a cognitive platform, and it’s future in India.
